Hi everyone, if anyone can hear my situation out and know or have any advices as to what will happen or help me out in this matter, it'd be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Okay, my situation is, I had merely thought I was helping a friend cash his check, but was arrested for it because it was considered to be "fake."

This is the whole entire story..
the week prior to be arrested, a "friend" had contacted me in regards to his check asking if i can help him out because he doesn't have a checking account. He tells me that the check was from his job that he has been working for awhile and it was his grandfather's, that he knew everyone and everything is "real," and it is legitimate. he then tells me that he can get the check under my name. unknowingly, i did not remotely acknowledge any susipicion from it whatsoever. a week later, he calls me and tells me that he had just gotten the check issued to him and was wondering if we can get together for my to cash his check. i agreed and we met up. the bank is wells fargo, by the way and the check was around $3000+. again i took no part in having any idea what was going on. I did not know he used me to see if his scheme would work. upon trying to cash it, the teller tells me she has to verify it and then that's when i knew i was completely set up into helping that jerk. i was arrested and charged with a felony charge. i was booked and jailed for 2 days and was released on O.R.

i am going to try to prosecute him who had set me up and need help with what i should do in court and how i should press charges on this person. and also, i need to find some way to link him to the check that was given to me by him. I am going to contest every bit of the way.

I am a desperate college student and am not working. I have never in my life done anything bad and now i am caught in a situation where i felt completely taken advantage of and do not know what to do because i had no knowledge of it at all. I cannot believe i was so ignorant and oblivious not to have any idea what was going on.
